The study scope covers from literature, translation to business. Fuzzy language refers to the vagueness of expressions, including the uncertainty, lack of clarity and concreteness. The vagueness of language manifests itself in several aspects: (1) uncertainty, namely language expresses several probable meanings, which makes it difficult to ascertain the idea. (2) unclarity, namely the scope of referred meaning is not specific, with the fuzzy extention. (3)ambiguity, it means a sentence is not uttered completely and thoroughly. (4) lack of concreteness, using the general words to express the concrete meaning. This paper studies the employment of fuzzy language in business refusal letters. Firstly, it makes a brief conclusion of previous study of fuzzy language. Secondly, by analyzing the vagueness of language in selected business refusal letters, it probes the pragmatic characteristics and functions of fuzzy language, and how to achieve a good communication between the two parts. It can be concluded ,on the basis of analysis, that fuzzy language does play an important role in delivering the negative information, and it helps save the customer’s face. The pragmatic functions include increasing the appropriateness of language, enhancing the flexibility and the crisis-avoidance. It is of great significance for our future study and in future business writing. Key words：Fuzzy language; Business refusal letters; Pragmatic functions 摘 要 语用模糊作为语言的基本特征之一，在语言学研究中日益受到关注，研究范围涉及的领域也愈来愈广，从文学，翻译到商务等多个领域。模糊语主要指模糊的表达, 即语言的所指或表述不确定、不明晰、不具体, 读者难以准确地、清楚地把握住语言的内容。语言的模糊性主要表现为：（1）不确定, 即语言同时表达几个可能的意义, 读者难以确定它表达的究竟是哪个意义。（2）不明晰, 即语言所表示的意义范围不明确, 概念外延模糊。（3）不明确, 即一句话不说完, 不说全, 不说明, 不说透。（4）不具体, 即用较为笼统的语言形式表达较为具体的语言意义。 本文研究模糊语在商务拒绝函中
